Pet owners should avoid IPATA 3rd party pet shippers. They are middlemen. You do NOT need them. They are VERY expensive!

Thanks for this informational post! While flying with my dog for the first time, I learned several things. Top factors may affect your dog’s health – temperature fluctuations, noise, drop in air pressure, etc. Many airlines that have restrictions regarding pet travel while some charge a hefty travel fee from the pet owners. So, to avoid any inconvenience, you should thoroughly read the airline guidelines for pet travels.

Thank you for this wonderful post. Very informative. I’ve been thinking about how can I take my daughter’s beloved dog with her on a trip. I will discuss this with her and we’ll see what will come up.

One thing I never thought of before was what would happen to my dog if I got sick/hurt/hospitalized while traveling with him? I found an emergency medical plan (Good Sam TravelAssist) that will take care of my pet. They’ll actually go to the hotel, pick him up, get him boarded nearby or even fly him home for me if that is what I need! Even better, they’ll cover the cost of all of that and, of course, will take care of getting me home too.

Hi, could you please also create a list with the hotels that allow pets? I am interested in these ones http://hotel-kiepenkerl.com/18/top-15-best-hotels-in-toronto-in-2019/usa/ but it also will be great if you make a detailed list with categories by country, city, etc.
